Robinson Crusoe (summary)

Hey there, awesome BookDuck readers! Get ready for an incredible survival story of an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances!

But before boarding a ship and seeking adventures on a tropical island, let’s get to know about the author of this amazing story.

Mr. Daniel Defoe was a prolific writer who wrote over 300 novels, pamphlets, and journals on a wide range of topics. He is best known today as the author of Robinson Crusoe, first published in 1719.

Did you know that the original title of the book was too long to fit on the cover? In fact, it was an entire paragraph.

"The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates."

Oh, that will do, Mr. Defoe. Let’s make it simple, just calling it Robinson Crusoe.

So, let’s hear what Robinson Crusoe has to tell us.
